Think of the child who is often sitting alone during recess on a bench. It can be the same child or maybe you have a rotation of multiple students who at any given day might feel alone in the playground. This often happens with children labeled as “shy” or a “loner”. This often also happens with Autistic, introverted, or shy children who may struggle with the lack os structure during recess. This can also happen to any kid just having a tough day. Here is a short story to illustrate something that happens often in playgrounds:
Emily, a 3rd-grade student, is sitting on a bench during recess, looking sad and lonely. She has been struggling to make friends and often finds herself sitting alone. The school recently acquired a Social Communication Portable A-Frame Sign and placed it near the bench where Emily is sitting.
As a group of students pass by the A-Frame Sign, they notice Emily sitting alone and approach her. They take turns reading the conversation starters and engaging topics listed on the sign, which helps them find common interests with Emily. They discuss their favorite hobbies, books, and movies, and Emily starts to light up with excitement.
As the recess bell rings, the group of students invites Emily to join them in their game. Emily, feeling included and valued, happily joins in and has a great time playing with her new friends.
The Social Communication Portable A-Frame Sign, along with the Buddy Bench, provides a structured and guided approach to social interactions, fostering inclusivity, and supporting positive peer relationships among students in the school.
